After several price increases, I am now paying $180 for color, cut, blow dry. How much would you tip?

I feel your pain because I pay similar prices every 6 weeks and half every 3 weeks for root touch-up. I tip 20%. (rounded up to $5 increment)

My girl makes a lot off me.

20%! That is a lot you are paying to get your hair done! My hair cut is 17.95 and I color my own hair. BUT I give her a 6 dollar tip on 17.95 which is more than 20%.

You'd be surprised to find that it's not that hard to do your own color, and save all that money! (Provided it's single-process). My mother always did hers, and she taught me how to do it.

I tip 20% but round up. I had to go back after a week to tone down some of the lighter blonde and she also washed/dried/styled so I tipped again! omg I saved so much $$ doing my own color.

I'm going back to FLA for the second time this month soon and got a cut, color and pedi today. It was $120 total. I tipped 20%.

I usually tip 20% for any salon service. Sometimes when I round up, it's more than 20%.

20 percent. If you go to a salon where the services are pricier...you still have to go by the expected tip amount. I had to go to a more expensive salon today for a pedicure. The price they asked was more than what I usually pay for pedi plus tip. So...I paid the extra amount. Plus an extra amount for the tip. Usually..where the salon is located, determines what they charge. When their rent is higher..you'll pay more for basic services, but you have to pay more for tips, too.
